Medanta – The Medicity, India’s top-ranked private hospital by Newsweek for six consecutive years, has expanded its kidney care and transplant expertise to Guwahati, signaling a major move in the North Eastern healthcare market. The Gurgaon-based hospital aims to address rising renal health concerns and enhance specialized medical knowledge across the region.
At a recent event in Guwahati, Dr. Sanjay Gogoi, Chairman of Urology and Renal Care, highlighted the benefits of Nephron Sparing Surgery, a procedure that removes kidney tumors while preserving maximum kidney function. Dr. Manish Jain, Senior Director of Nephrology, spoke on the complexities of renal transplants, emphasizing the gap between demand and availability, with 13,400 transplants performed in India in 2024 versus nearly 2 lakh patients on waiting lists.
Medanta’s expansion into Guwahati opens opportunities for residents of Nagaland to access advanced kidney care without traveling long distances to metros like Delhi or Bangalore. The establishment of multi-specialty OPDs in nearby Guwahati provides an accessible hub for high-quality diagnostics and consultations, boosting the healthcare ecosystem in the region. The initiative precedes Medanta’s planned 400-bed super specialty hospital in Guwahati, reflecting a strategic investment in the North East and reaffirming the hospital’s commitment to providing world-class care to underserved communities.
